Currently based in Boston, Massachusetts, Dr. Kim has performed at numerous venues along the American East Coast, including at local concert series in Boston such as the Kleshinsky, Park Avenue Congregational Church, St. Johns Bowdoin St. and Jamaica Plain, as well as performances at the Tanglewood Music Center, Southern New Hampshire University, the Purchase Piano Festival, and in the Dancer in Mocomoco project in New York City.
A dedicated teacher, Dr. Kim is on the piano faculty of both the Dedham School of Music and the Creative Arts School, and in the summers, he teaches at the Youth and Muse international music Festival in Boston.
